after nearly one year of work, I finished my build of the Felgiebel engines. The original intention to start this project was to obtain some knowlegde about 3D construction and printing, building sandcast moulds and finally the aluminium casting process itself. Once I´ve got the knowledge of how to design and print the cast cores (to get them properly removed from the sand), the casting process itself was surprisingly easy. I was really happy how good the first casting result was....

In 2014 my two granddaughters wanted to build a Stirling engine after several other projects. Model Engine builder had an article by Norm Jones and picked that one. They started in the shop when they were 8 and 10, now 19 and 21.

The oldest one, Rachel, finished up her engine this week, spent 6 days making parts and fitting it up. She is a senior this fall in Chemical Engineering at Michican Tech in Houghton MI. Being in college she had limited time but would try and visit for a...

for those who don't know
I am Greg and I am 14 years old
I have been making this webster model 4 stroke engine for about a year,
due to not having a lathe (mine is on the way!! I'll give you a hint: it is grey.) I had to use school's Hercus 260 (which hadn't been used in 10 years)
on Thursday lunches. My dad is the worst DIY person in the world. Once he ripped a light bulb and the socket right out of the ceiling! I asked him 'what the hell are you doing?' he said 'im...

Here you can see the back of the mill with the standard recipe column brace and Y tram, except I used oval point set screws for the adjusters with locknuts on each.

Here you can see the X tram adjustment brackets I made similar to those of another user, still using...

Mini Mill X/Y Tram and Gas Springs]]>13Air powered Hit and Miss EngineWed, 26 Sep 2018 00:39:37 +0000https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/air-powered-hit-and-miss-engine.30331/

Here is my air hit and miss. I usually build I.C. engines, but I have trouble keeping them all running at the same time at the shows.
This will run all day with minimal adjustments, and it makes the right sounds and movements!
It was designed by Chuck Fellows, and the plans were updated by Brian Rupnow.
The plans can be downloaded from this site https://www.homemodelenginemachinis...e-as-built-by-brian-rupnow.29267/#post-307097...

https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/fords-first-engine.25496/invalid@example.com (RickWeber)RickWeberThank You to Chris ("Vascon2196") and all the others on this forum who posted advice in helping Chris get his Ford engine running. This undoubtedly saved me a huge amount of time in constructing mine.

I was able to avoid problems with valve seating, electrical, carburetor, etc. by either studying Chris' solutions or incorporating solutions proposed by others. I also was able to come up with a couple innovations to make building...
